Organochlorine pesticides are associated with NfL in humans (beta=0.33 (0.17, 0.49)).
“Among males, OCP was associated with increased NfL (2nd vs. 1st tertile: beta=0.33 (0.17, 0.49)); p-interaction sex*OCP <0.001).”

Organochlorine pesticides raise the risk of stroke in humans (OR 4.0, 95% CI 1.1-14.6).
“4.0 (1.1-14.6) for OC pesticides; corresponding ORs for those ≥ 95th percentile were 7.8 (2.1-29.6) and 9.5 (2.3-38.9).”
